Questions:

1. What is your profile picture? Why?
   My profile photo is my favorite, and oldest, Original Character, Sorrel. I chose it because he's been with me through a lot.
2. What is your favorite myth? Why?
   Myth, hmm. I think the one about eating spaghetti to grow taller is hilarious, I love it because it gives me an excuse to eat my favorite meal in excess. It's a health myth, a false one, but a myth nonetheless.
3. What three words would you use to describe yourself?
   Eccentric, tired, longing. Those are perfect.
4. What is your MBTI test result?
   I don't know what my result would be, I haven't taken it before! I might try it someday, though.
5. How would you describe your own handwriting?
   Gorgeous, oh my gosh. It's literally perfection on paper.

Thanks for asking stuff! <3

Thank you for answering so neatly!

@Mojack

1, What's your favourite game? Why?

Hmm..Right now, I think I'll put Horizon Zero Dawn here. It's a really good game in my opinion; open world (i know some people dont like those but i really do) and it has good controls/mechanics. Things I tend to struggle with in games are the controls, but when a game has smooth controls like this it makes it a lot easier. And it looks like it has a neat story as well. But I'm also only an hour into the game so I'll have to see from here lol.

2, Do you know any additional languages?

I'm not completely fluent, and I'm better with writing them, but I know German, French, and some Russian! I'm hoping to try to learn some Welsh or something soon.

3, If you had to live in another country, where would you go?

Probably one of the Scandinavian countries. Similar climate to my own country (I do not handle heat well!) and good living conditions, from what I've heard.

4, If you could either choose to be immortal or be able to control matter, or time travel, which one would you choose?

Matter is everything around me, so..I think I'll go with matter. Immortality would depend on what type of immortal I am in the first place, and time travel feels too risky.

5, What do you plan on being in terms of careers?

Mm..I've jumped around a bit, but I think I'll be doing something art related. Maybe animation. I considered being a pilot for the RCAF at one point, fun fact. I've also considered being a sniper, but I did change my mind doing more research.

6, What's your favourite story/world you've made?

This one is more complicated. I would have to say, either End of Time (because of how diverse it is in terms of species, people, planets, etc) or my new WIP, 'New World.' New World because of the freedom I can get in designing fauna and whatnot for its surroundings; End of Time as well but EoT is so big it's harder to make designs. New World is more focused.

If you don't mind, I'll leave you with some questions.

1. Would you rather see the past, or future? Or stay in the present.
2. What's your favourite movie?
3. Who do you see yourself as?
4. What's your favourite type of music?
5. What's your favourite thing you've made in any of your worlds?

@The-one-and-only-Gaius-Cassius-Longinus

1. What's your favorite thing about space?
   Honestly. It would most likely be the constellations. They're just so beautiful and I wish that I could get lost within them without a care in the world.
2. What's your favorite myth?
   I know it seems common, but actually the tale of Icarus and Daedalus. I think that it showed such a powerful message with a great tool. Death. It showed the consequences of one's actions and how short your happiness can be if you don't listen. It also reminds me of a question that someone once asked me: "If time flies when you're having fun, what happens when time's drowning? I couldn't help but relate it back to Icarus and how when he was flying, he felt happy and free, but when he was drowning, so was his time in the world. It was fleeting fast and slipping away. To top it all off, the mention of Daedalus crying for his lost son and the feathers floating on the water in which Icarus drowned. It really topped everything off, in my opinion, beautifully.
3. Do you have a favorite poem? Or one that you just really like?
   I do, in fact, have a poem I really like. It's entitled "The Ivy Green" by Charles Dickens.
4. Why is your favorite page type characters?
   Personally, I find making characters to be quite fun. All the little thoughts of "what if somebody..?" are relieved when I make a character who did. Also, it's fun being able to think and act in the minds of the little creatures spinning around in my head. Fleshing them out, making them feel real, it's almost as if your getting to know someone new. :)
5. Ice cream or pie?
   As much as I love ice cream, I'd have to go with pie. Key lime pie forever has my heart.

Thanks for asking me questions, Xander! :)

Oh… didn't know that happened when you squish cockroaches.

Yeah, I'm the official killer of cockroaches in my house. My mother can't stand bugs (I like them) and my cats prefer to toy with the cockroaches.

(wait Jynnie what was the Gatsby reference??)

1. The Empire Strikes Back. Even though it doesn't have the meaning to me that Rogue One does, it's probably the best movie I've ever seen. Although if we're talking about technical aspects, The Last Jedi takes that cake (don't get me wrong, I love TLJ with my entire heart, but Empire feels more raw and unpolished. I can't bring myself to rank the SW movies, but Empire is probably my third, and TLJ my fifth, although I absolutely love all, even 1)
2. I really don't want either (I prefer telekinesis) but I'd go with telepathy.
3. FALL!
4. People who purposefully ignore elements in a story to prove their points, and who miss the themes and misinterpret the characters.
5. Probably just Door County

5. What would you do if had enough money to not need a job?
6. What is the benefit of consciousness from an evolutionary standpoint?
7. What are you doing this weekend?

Ah, it was you, Ty. Uh, hello public. Not a pleasure to be here.

1. I find Wyoming's Red Desert interesting. I don't choose what I hyper fixate on, and a reference to it made it into my username.
2. I don't like dirt. I like to clean. Two plus two equals four. Next question.
3. I needed someplace to contain my ideas in an organized format. More organized compared to the piles of filled notebooks shoved in a corner.
4. A compilation of all the reasons why emotion is a useless evolutionary function in the current era of humanity.
5. Not sure.
6. I–, Ty I could go on and on about this subject. To save you, and others, from reading a large block of text, I will abstain. I'll just leave it at common sense.
7. Not working, for once, of which I now regret.
8. A hairpin for a friend.
9. Nevada. The entire state is strange to me. It's empty, yet filled with life.
10. So many things, Ty. So many things. For example: why must we shake hands in western culture? It is an easy spread of germs and has the capability to be disrespectful to certain people, so why hasn't it been changed? Hmm? It makes no logical sense. "You can learn a lot from people just from their handshake," yes, but you can also learn just as much by simply looking at the person long enough. And continuing on that tangent, why is staring seen as so disrespectful? I can understand creepy staring, sure, but regular staring? Why do people not want me to look them in the eyes during a conversation? Where should I look, then? Is it instinctual from our predatory evolution? Is it cultural?

With this, I shall return to the background. Goodbye, public. It was not fun.

Thank you for humoring me, Dessie.

@Qxeensryche-is-Artemis-and-hates-school

1. Why is your username the way it is? I'm curious.
2. How did you first stumble upon Notebook?
3. Which would you rather: Being poor forever, but everyone loves you or being rich forever but everyone hates you? Why would you prefer the one you chose over the other?
4. If you had to choose any species of animal to go extinct, what would you choose?
5. What element do you feel the closest connection to?
6. If from all the people you know, you could only choose one to be able to talk to for the rest of your life, who would you choose?
7. Has a book ever made you cry? If so, which book?
8. You could only ever feel one emotion for the rest of your life. Which emotion would you choose? Why would you choose it? Do you think you'd regret it? And if so, why?

And while I wait for that… @awgzvm

1. Why do people call you South?
2. Why is your user the way it is
3. Do you have a favourite animal? If so, what is it and why?
4. Who you look up to? Why do you look up to them?

@Raikage, here are a few questions I have been wanting to ask you.

1. What is your favorite word, and what reasons exist for it to be your favorite?
2. Your recent names have been the title names of Naruto village leaders, are you a fan?
3. Which planet in the Milky Way system is your favorite?
4. What is your least favorite thing to feel, whether it be an emotion, or a physical item?
5. What does it take to gain an ounce of your friendship?

@Raikage, here are a few questions I have been wanting to ask you.

Ah–Well. Hello there.

1. What is your favorite word, and what reasons exist for it to be your favorite?

Smörgåsbord is literally my favorite word of all time. I use it on a daily basis (both correctly and incorrectly). In easy terms its a type of Scandinavian meal, served buffet-style with multiple hot and cold dishes of various foods on a table. Very family style. As a chef I love food. As a Hispanic woman, family is huge so cooking for everyone in this style has always been my go to.

And it's just fun to say. lol

1. Your recent names have been the title names of Naruto village leaders, are you a fan?

Fan is an understatement for what I am. When I had nothing I had Naruto (and SJM.) surprisingly it helped me out of a dark place. Which sounds cheesy, but when you're dirt poor living from couch to couch in a state where you have no one–it's the little things that make a big impact. I love anime in general as a staple of Japanese culture, but Naruto will always have a place in my heart.

1. Which planet in the Milky Way system is your favorite?

Pluto. Vive la Pluto
It's tiny and cold and has an heart shaped ocean full of poisonous liquids. Which is me in a nutshell. It also has an equally tiny moon named Eris, which just makes me love it all the more.

1. What is your least favorite thing to feel, whether it be an emotion, or a physical item?

I hate a lot of feely textures actually. Wet hair, carpet on my feet after a shower, rubbery foods, soggy anything on any part of me, chalkboards, cardboard….like there's a lot. aheh

But emotionally I hate feeling blank. It's just that apathetic moment where my Hyper Focus shuts down and I'm left with an entirely empty brain. Kinda scary, kinda awful. It's that moment where I know I could watch my life implode and not feel a damn thing.

Also I hate feeling over stimulated. Its like too many people touching me at the same time but in my brain. Sets my calm demeanor on edge in .2 seconds.

1. What does it take to gain an ounce of your friendship?

Ah–you know I don't know. Everyone I'm friends with, I 'adopted' for different reasons. No two people are the same, so why should I hold them all to the same standard?

But I guess I have """guidelines""" that I like most in people:

• Brutally honest
• Confidence in themselves
• Willing to sacrifice people to the Dark Lord with me.
